    NFS: Invalid mount option values should always fail, even with "sloppy" · d23c45fd

    Ian Kent reports:
    
    "I've noticed a couple of other regressions with the options vers
    and proto option of mount.nfs(8).
    
    The commands:
    
    mount -t nfs -o vers=<invalid version> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>
    mount -t nfs -o proto=<invalid proto> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>
    
    both immediately fail.
    
    But if the "-s" option is also used they both succeed with the
    mount falling back to defaults (by the look of it).
    
    In the past these failed even when the sloppy option was given, as
    I think they should. I believe the sloppy option is meant to allow
    the mount command to still function for mount options (for example
    in shared autofs maps) that exist on other Unix implementations but
    aren't present in the Linux mount.nfs(8). So, an invalid value
    specified for a known mount option is different to an unknown mount
    option and should fail appropriately."
